Business migration

If you have a successful background in owning or managing a business or investments, and you would like to engage in business or investment activity in Western Australia, you may qualify for the Business Migration Program.

The majority of business people will first enter Western Australia on a four year Provisional Business Visa. After successfully managing a business or investment here, you may be eligible to apply for a Permanent Business Visa.

To help assess your eligibility for a Business Visa, please read the criteria on this website.

Prospective business migrants are encouraged to go to the SkillSelect website and conduct a self-assessment against the visa categories. Department of Home Affairs is responsible for the assessment and issue of all Australian visas.

For more detailed information regarding the various Federal migration programs, you may also wish to visit the Department of Home Affairs.
